It is found in the book of Numbers, the law that God gave to Moses. It follows the passages that detail how one takes the vow of a Nazirite to separate himself to the Lord. The Nazirite vows were specific and sacrificial, and according to the law, “…until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the LORD, he shall be holy.” Numbers 6:5 (NKJV)
That should give us a clue about just how serious this portion of scripture is, and just as the law concerning the Nazirite vows ends, God gives instruction on how the people are to be blessed by the priesthood.
Most impressive to me this year however is the way the story and the message of Christmas are being shared in a more contemporary way, and since that is the call on my life, to reach young people with the word of God in their comfort space, I am just thrilled at the creativity I have seen this season in the sharing of the Gospel message.
